The horrific, bar baric, hamasiran invasion of israel. Israel is regrouping with their air defenses, soon to be haunched ground attack launched. Weaver trying to get with hold of mike tobin with on the ground. Hes on the gaza border. As soon as we can, we will plug him right in. Meanwhile on the show, senator eric schmidt will be here to tell us why the administration is still in deep denial about the role of iran, and. Just in just a second the great harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz is going to the tell us why hard harvard loves hamas, or maybe they dont. But first, a worth of word of congratulations, winning a tight race over another great friend and distinguished conservative, jim jordan. Mr. Jordan has now declared support for scalise and is whipping other members into the scalise camp. Hopefully the republican conference will be completely united and move the nomination to the house floor and get the 217 votes necessary. A couple more words about Steve Scalise, whom i have known for many, many years. He is a brave soul who was shot on a baseball field a few years ago, managed to recover and won the admiration of everybody on both sides of the aisle. If right now he is ahead of schedule in his winning battle to defeat cancer. Hes a strong conservative, he was an excellent whip, end excellent majority leader, former head of the conservative republican study committee, and he was a principal organizer of h. R. 1, the first Republican Housepassed bill last winter, hugely important as it will unlock the fossil fuel spigots that joe bidens radicalling Green New Deal attempts to shut down. H. R. 1 was also an important permitting reform bill. It would unleash oil and gas production, bring down gasoline prices and help restore Americas Energy dominance that biden has so badly undermined. Then majority if leader and a heat and thenspeaker Kevin Mccarthy unveiled h. R. 1 on this show in part because it was probably my biggest pet cause. And i think it still is. Comes from louisiana, you can bet Steve Scalise will keep the heat on and press forward to fight bidens Climate Change and restore a balanced approach to energy using our god given resources and Technology Advances to power future Economic Growth forward. Anybody that knows Steve Scalise, by the way, really likes him. Donald trump backed jim jordan, but trump is also a great admirer or and friend of Steve Scalise, and mr. Jim jordan, an old personal friend, he will continue to do a terrific job as judiciary chair in the biden investigations and in pursuit of an end to the who totiered Justice System twotiered jus jus disthe department. Theyre song proponents of free speech, and they are supplyside tax cutters. They will work hard to limit the size and scope of the federal government, curb spending and deficits, roll back the antigrowth biden regulations. These guys are probusiness. They are not Big Government socialists. And the fact that mr. Jordan is magnanimously working for a successful scalise speakers vote attests to jims patriotism and his strong character. As soon as he get a republican speaker onboard, look for a bipartisan resolution in support of israel. Its going to have to be some kind of supplemental spending bill to help our great ally, israel. And then the hard blocking and tackling. Finish up the regular budget order appropriations process. Liberal media keeps writing off the are Republican House. They do it dozens of times. But i think those liberals are going to be wrong once again. By the way, the Republican House will also be israels truly best friend through thick and thin. Okay . Some just a little appetizer by myself for mr. Scalise and mr. Jordan. All right. Now, next question before the house, does harvard hate hamas . Or maybe not. Joining us is the great Alan Dershowitz, Professor Emeritus at Harvard Law School. And the author of get trump the threat to civil liberties, due process and our constitutional rule of law. And and also a great article, i saw it in the new york sun, a new reckoning is long due for overdue for american universities over the antisemitism which of which their campuses are riddled. As your biggest fan, sir, thanks for coming on the show. What is it . I mean, i spent a prison term at princeton. I know you were a long time with harvard is. Larry summers is tour cows. Furious. Maybe well get to the quote. What is it about these schools, professor dershowitz . They have no context, they have no historical understanding. Youre absolutely right. [audio difficulty] for woke progressive culture, but were on the offense now just like israel. We turned against these. We got a law firm in new york to rescind is an a offer from the head of the nyu Bar Association who supported the rapists and the beheaders and the kidnappers at harvard. Weve gotten lots and and lots of the groups to withdraw their support for hamas. And you know why . Because a Big Hedge Fund operator who graduated from harvard said he wanted the name of every single student who supported these beheadings and supported these abominations to be made public so that no wall street firm makes the mistake of hiring think of them. Or think law firm. Or any law firm. Can you imagine a law firm saying to a jewish client, oh, by the way, the woman who is going to be the representing you, she believes its okay to lynch and rape jews. Would you like her to represent you . Of course not. The First Amendment allows these bigots to express their bigoted views, but they also allow us to respond to them. And one way of responding to them is by exposure the marketplace of ideas requires transparency. So we want the name of every single student and fact faculty member who supported these barbarities, and we want to make them public, and we want to make sure every potential employer knows who theyre hiring. Larry boy, thats great. That is a great story. I know theres been some backing and forthing, claudine gay is the president of harvard. Out of the gate very, very slowly. I think we have a quote. Let me see, do we have a quote for her . The delayed harvard leadership statement fails to meet the needs of the moment. Why cant we find anything oh, this is Larry Summers, i think. All right, this was summers. The delayed harvard come on, lets get it up on there we go. All right. The producers arent helping me here. Here, as the events of recent days continue to reverb rate, let there be no doubt that i confirm the terrorist atrocities perpetrated by hamas. Okay, that was her statement, the president of harvard. It took a while to get it out, Alan Dershowitz. Are you okay with that . Should she have acted sooner . As a longtime harvard professor, maybe among the most distinguished people ever to serve harvard, what do you think . Between larry and i, we served harvard for over 100 years, and i think its its not immodest to the say we were part of harvards end ration for excellence. And now reputation. And now the the president of harvard, too little, too late. She has still refused to condemn the student groups. She doesnt want the woke people to protest. Shes just been made president. She wants to take the safe way out. Thats the true of most University Administrators today. They refuse to condemn students. Just imagine if there were a club at harvard called the ku klux klan club, and it advocated the lynching of africanamericans. Would president gay remain silent are about that . Would she rephase to condemn . The same refuse to condemn . The same standards have to be applied to these groups. And you know one of the groups that supported this, this beheading was Amnesty International at harvard. Theyve now withdrawn their support as the result of pressure. But there were so many groups, feminist groups, gay groups, other groups who were part of thats what called intersectionality which is one of the most bigoted antisemitic academic groups around. But it basically sends messages to people saying if you want to be a good progressive, woke person, you have to the hate israel, and you have to love hamas. Were not going to stand for that anymore. Exposure with, as Justice Brandeis once said, is the best, best remedy. Sunlight is the best disinfectant. So lets get sun sunlight on all the people who have lent their names and the good maim of harvard to these barbarities. Larry let me put up, if i can can get the producers i want to read Larry Summers ive known Larry Summers over 40 years. Lets get this up. Come on, summers, summers, summers. Here, this is Larry Summers. The delayed harvard leadership statement fails to meet the needs of the moment. Why cant we find anything approaching the moral clarity of harvards statements after George Floyds death or russias invasion of ukraine when terrorists kill, rape or take hostage hundreds of israelis attending a music festival. Why cant we give reassurance that the University Stands squarely against hamas terror, frightens students when 35 groups of their fellow students appear to be blaming all the violence on israel. I wanted the read it, i know you agree with it. I agree with it. Just because my regard for Larry Summers. Larry summers is democrat, im republican, but hes making enormous sense as he often does. Hes a brilliant guy. Hes like you, mr. Dershowitz. Its a matter of character. Youve got to be square on both sides of the aisle. So, you know, i look down the list, Harvard Law School, columbia, berkeley, myu, yale nyu, yale. I didnt see princeon on the list, but im afraid to keep looking. You know, if the president s president s of these universities dont step up, who will . Thats my question. I mean, if they dont, who will . Well, faculty members are stepping up. Stephen pinker, a few other of my colleagues are stepping up. But, you know, its not only universities. Black lives matter in chicago basically issue ised a statement that says that jewish lives dont matter. Not only dont we care about jewish lives, were going to glorify the hamas parasailors when who went into a music festival, they were primarily people from the left are, people who support the twostate solution, people who want peace. But for these barbaric people, it doesnt matter what kind of a jew you are. If youre a je witnesser, if youre jew, if youre in israel, you deserve to have your children murdered. Benjamin netanyahu just a few minutes ago described what happened in a room with a whole bunch of jewish children. Apparently tires were lit on fire, and they were sent into the room to incinerate these children. If that doesnt remind you of the the holocaust, nothing, nothing does. And what were seeing is neonazi fascists and and theyre supported by students. Would you want to sit next to a student in Harvard Law School who you knew would be prepared to behead your children if he had the opportunity to do so . You know, this has has to be exposed 678 and the schools exposed. And the schools have to know what theyre doing. And today many of these universities are failing in their mission. Now, the students are fighting back. You know what theyre doing . Theyre not taking humanities because they know what it is, its being used for propaganda. What theyre doing is s. T. E. M. , science, technology, engineering and math. Theyre majoring in mixes, theyre going economics, theyre going to the hard sciences. They dont want to be propagandized by these radical idealogues on the hard left. We need a reckoning just like we had a reckoning after george floyd. George floyd was one man loaded with narcotics and alcohol who contributed, obviously, to his own death even hoe he cheerily was though he clearly was murdered, and the people who murdered him had to be held accountable. One man caused a major reckoning of how universities deal with race. I think that 1200 innocent jewish people in israel and the way universities have dealt with that ought to cause a reckoning. And i wont rest this that reckoning occurs at yale where i went the law school, at harvard where i taught for 50 years, at the City University of new york which wont allow me to speak. Do you know harvard wont how me to speak about israel . They will allow think antiisrael, hamas supporter to speak, but they will not allow me or other proisrael supporters to have a platform on the campus. Larry a taxpayerfunded university. Professor dershowitz, one more thing. In congress this i want to play some tape, this a Rashida Tlaib woman who is completely on the wrong side and is in denial of all the realities you just spoke about. Our own Hillary Vaughn, chased her down. Listen to this, professor. Hang on a second. Reporter these terrorists have cut off babies heads and burned children alive. Do you support israels right to defend themselves against [inaudible] you cant comment if about Hamas Terrorists chopping off babies heads . [background sounds] congresswoman, do you have a comment on Hamas Terrorists chopping off babies heads . You have nothing to say about Hamas Terrorists chopping off babies heads . Do you condone what ma hamas if has done, chopping off babies heads, burning children alive, raping women in the streets . [background sounds] you have no no comment about childrens heads being chopped off . Congressman, why do you have a palestinian flag outside your office if you do not condone what hamas has done to israel . Do israeli lives not matter to you . Larry i mean, weve got she wont even comment on chopping off babies heads, childrens heads, and she has a palestinian flag hanging outside her office. A u. S. Congresswoman. I mean, i think it i dont deny her right to have her opinions. I dont think you do either, professor. But i think theres a certain point of just basic inhumanitarianism that we have to get past in this country. There has to be a conversation. Right now theres no conversation. This woman is an extremist. Shes a bad apple, in my opinion. Thats just my editorial opinion. But, you know, it just goeses to show no dialogue, no discussion, no acknowledging of the reality that you have just been describing. Alan, ill give you the last word on this. We have to have a single standard. Would she have refused to comment if there were a member of congress who supported lynching of africanamericans, as some did back in the 1910s and 1920s. This is the same. These are are lynching. More israelis were lynched in one day than africanamericans were lynched in any 10year period in history, and we have to think of these as lynchings, and we have to ask people who justifiably always oppose lynchings and would oppose them today how they can remain silent in the face of this. Shame on you, congresswoman. Alex professor dershowitz, we appreciate your time and your view toint view point, sir. Thank you very much. All right, folks, got a lot cooking tonight. As i said in my opening riff, it looks like Steve Scalise is the gops next pick for house speaker. Were going to talk about it with congressman kevin hearn next up on kudlow.

Our own Hillary Vaughn live on capitol hill with details. Hillary, i just want to say how much i loved watching you chase down Rashida Tlaib. And we showed it to professor dershowitz who had very good thing i mean, nice going, Hillary Vaughn. Reporter thank you, larry, i really appreciate that. We try to talk to everyone here on capitol hill, and sometimes we dont always get answers, but sometimes the nonanswer ends up being the story. But what is the story right now on the house side is that in a closed door caucus meeting congressman Steve Scalise, the pick from the majority of conservatives to be their guy, to be the next speaker of the house. In a 11399 vote is, 113 for scalise, 99 vet ises for congressman jim votes for congressman jim jordan. And a is lease got the most votes behind closed doors, but thats not enough to secure the speakership on the house floor. Everything is on hold right now, republicans not going to vote just yet. Scalise, in the meantime, scrambling to get enough support. Congressman jim jordan though just now giving scalise a boost. He told fox he will vote for scalise. He offered to give a nominating speech for him and is en
